The leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said insurgents were fighting on despite a three-year "crusader" war, [...]

"Your mujahideen sons were able to confront the most ferocious of crusader
campaigns on a Muslim state. They have stood in the face of this onslaught for three years," Zarqawi said on the video.

The video was believed to be the first to contain a "message" from Zarqawi, U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News.

"As far as we know, this is the first video," said a senior intelligence official. "We have seen videos of him before but they were older, more like home videos like the one of him at a wedding."
Technical and contextual analysis was under way at the CIA, the official said.

It seems to me that his video following on the heels of Osama’s and repeating
many of the same talking points about Zionist-Crusader garbage, is a desperate
attempt to rekindle their dying cause. Many are also taking note that he is
wearing a suicide belt. Don’t think these thugs will let us take them alive. He
also talks about Iraq’s new government, obviously unhappy that a liberated
people can now choose their own leaders instead of being dictated.

Zarqawi’s new videotape comes one day after the Sinai’s attacks and two days
after Bin Laden’s “state of the world Jihad” audiotape aired on al Jazeera. Many
questions are fusing: Why now and is there a connection between the three
events? What is the essence of Abu Mus’ab’s message and why is he risking so
high? Are there troubles behind the release of the video? In fact there are many
levels of analysis and multiple dimensions.
